i had a great weekend! oh what a joy it was, truly. so it started with no work on friday night... and during the day friday - i had my first day watching my nephews. it was lovely! oh i'm so overjoyed by the fact that i get to watch them. after "work" i went to the dollar tree and got a few items to decorate kate's bridal shower with and stuff. i got most of my stuff together, went out to dinner with the husband and had an early night. yeah... i went to bed at like 10 or something on a friday!
saturday - it started all wrong and i was so afraid that it would set the tone for the day. thank God it did not. what happened? well let me explain! i woke up and the toilet was clogged... we didn't have a plunger and i couldn't get a hold of my landlord/friend right away so i just decided to just go and get a plunger. i did that, stopped by the post office and there was nothing there (i'm expecting medicine). when i got home, bud had already left for work so i was left with the joys of the broken pot... so i tried and tried to fix the toilet. (let me say that it was clogged when we woke up... we didn't do anything to cause it to be like that... it was a fluke! oh and also - i had to pee so bad and i was an idiot for not going at the kmart when i was there getting the plunger... i was miserable). so i called my parents, they said come over and keep trying to get in touch with lindsay. finally i got in touch with lindz and was able to talk to her about it. we both decided to just sit and see if it would work itself out as that has happened before.
so i went to my parents house, took a shower, used the toilet, put on make-up and what happens... i realize oh crap, i forgot the party favors! doh'! so i race all the way back to my house and get the favors and zoom over to katie's mom's house. thankfully, things were pretty much set up. all that was needed was what i was bringing and what liz brought. we got it all set up and figured out. kate showed up and the guests showed up. we had a really good time. heard an embarrassing story about kate, witnessed an embarrassing moment of kate's (poor thing got curry powder in her eyes... yeeeeah...), got to bless her with yummy recipes and lots of laughs! it was nice seeing everything i had been envisioning come to fruition and with much success! she had a great time and that was all i wanted. so after the shower, we decided to all go home and get freshened up for the evening.
i went home... worked on the toilet and to no avail it was still busted. finally - i kind of had a fit and plunged to my wits end and it finally... fixed! hooray! fixed up my make-up a bit and finally had a moment to relax.
so afterwards, kate and the girls came to get me and we all went out to fin's for dinner. that place is amazing... a bit on the expensive side (we eat cheap in the newman household) but so good. had a try of a great sushi roll, had steak, chicken and crab. it was awesome. had champagne and that was good too! following dinner we went out for the big bash at cancun cantina. while i had some reservations on whether or not i would enjoy myself at a night club (i'm not really the night club type) - i really did have a great time! seeing kate running around, having some drinks, dancing, singing, and enjoying herself was really the cherry on top of it all. but i had fun myself. i got to hang out with some really fun people and then my husband joined and hung out too! hooray! it was a lot of fun. he is a wonderful person, that husband of mine. :) :) got a few amazing pictures from that night!

me and the bride! she and i have been best friends since we were 5! best friends for life!
my two best friends! i love this.
true love!
aww! <3
jenn and myself! we have been friends since high school!
so after the party we went home and pretty much fell asleep almost immediately.
woke up and went to church, regardless of how tired i was! we talked about the deception we give into when we sin and what james is warning us about in james 1. it was an amazing sermon followed by great fellowship with our friends debbie and ken fields and their children. they are wonderful people! 'doh! i meant to call debbie and see how she is doing... hopefully i can remember to do that tomorrow.
after church we came home and i had a short nap before going to see the movie sucker punch. it was really entertaining, little character development, but lots of eye candy in the visual effects area. i liked it. it was like a live-action anime, so that made it cool. :) after the movie we went to dinner at fridays, came home, i did a bit of homework, spent some lovely time together and then i passed out. that was my weekend. a blurry blast! i loved it! maybe i am not as anti-social as i thought i was. well... i kind of am, but at least i can still have a good time if i'm out and about! huzzah!
so today - was another great day at work. its amazing spending time with my lovely nephews and getting to know them and see their unique and individual personalities. evan is only 2 months but he still has a bit of a personality on him and its totally different from carter. its neat and i can't wait to watch them both grow to know each other. oh how i love to be with family! and its nice because i'm getting to see my brother dan a lot more. (i keep missing sarah but i'm sure she and i will get a chance to chat a bit while i watch the boys too). anyway - thats that i suppose. oh and after work, i worked on 2 bits of homework for english that took me about 3.5 hours... i hate citations and all that crap that goes into writing mla style papers... i hate it! aaaaanyway. that is all. and now it is 9:20pm and i'm so ready for bed its not even funny. tomorrow i hope to get some history done and get some more reading done for my english class. hopefully the homework i submitted will be graded quickly and that i will get a good grade. i worked really hard on the paper and the revision and my homework... and i also want to keep up the great grades i've been getting~!
okay. i'm done. GOODNIGHT! <3
